Gordon is a 7-year-old toy rat terrier. He lives happily with his human family and his doggie brother, Rocky. Rocky and Gordon have the same mom and dad. Gordon's absolute favorite toy is a tennis ball, and there are about 30 of them scattered around our house! He loves playing fetch, and outside he loves playing with his old soccer ball. About a year ago, Gordon developed cataracts and then soon went completely blind, but you'd never know it! He'll still walk right up to the cupboard where the treats are kept and ask you for one!

Even though YOU can't see ME...I can SEE you, and you are ONE HANDSOME BOY!!! What a WONDERFUL PUP...and to have your "brubber" to help you out also! You GO Gordon....and ROCKY you too!!! Treats galore for BOTH!!

Gordon, I would have never suspected that those bright eyes of yours can't see! But you look like a happy guy (and a cute one, too) and that's what's important! Many more happy and healthy years to you, buddy!

how adorable is THAT?!?!?!?! you show that soccer ball who's boss! Gordon, you are 1000% adorable! I love everything about you & especially that you are smart enough to know where everything is dispite your blindness... YOU ROCK! Long & Happy & Healthy Life to you cutie pie

I love Gordon! We have a Rattie named Sophie who also is white and liver colored - same nose! I've seen these expressions many times. They are a funny and expressive breed and I'm sure he keeps you entertained. Glad he's adjusted to the blindness and has such a devoted family.

Gordon, you are such a sweetheart. You have admirable qualities, especially not letting your lack of eye sight stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest. I think you're a pretty special boy - love, hugs and kisses to cute little you!

Gordon is absolutely adorable. Sorry for his blindness, thrilled he is doing so well with it. He is an amazing little guy. Best wishes for many more healthy, happy years filled with love, snuggles, and play.

It looks like sweet Gordon is getting ready to say "throw that ball"! He's precious and having a Rat Terrier, I know how smart and sweet they are. Dogs can do amazing things w/o sight - I went through that several years ago with my Min-Pin... told friends I was his seeing eye people! Hugs to Gordon and Rocky!

We have a cute little Rat Terrier named Deno. Gordon looks like a perfect example of this wonderful breed. Full of fun, smart, loving and just a little bit ornery. I love the "smile" on his face. My ratty does the same thing! He is just beautiful!

Rat Terriers are very cute, smart dogs with an amazing sense of smell (no doubt how he navigates to the treats or to you). While Dachshunds are noted as Earthdogs, in my experience " Ratters" are much better. More info on Eathdog competitions at earthdog.org or AKC's Earthdog link. When I took my Doxie to the Earthdog trials, she looked up at me as if to say, "you want me to do what?" and proceeded to climb up into my arms. It was a fun day watching the real Earthdogs do their thing. I have a Lapdog :-)
